boat by 10:00, but we can meet for breakfast. Okay. I told you I was a flibbertigibbet. What do you think? It's terrific. I'm sorry I was so grotesque last night. You were fine. I disappointed you. What did Daddy hire you to do? It's complicated. Okay, don't tell me. Thank you. - I bet Patricia knows. - Who's Patricia? My half sister. She's sailing you wherever you're going. She is? You didn't know? Daddy loves a secret almost as much as he loves money. Can I ask you something? Why are you dressed like Jungle Jim? I could change. Do you think this is inappropriate for the boat? No, it's fine. We better go. I have a guy taking your trunks to the marina... ...who may or may not have understood my directions. Come on. Бndale, бndale. - Is that it? - Yeah. What's the trunks, Felix? Those are... My name's not Felix, it's Joe. I know. - That's your half sister? - Yeah. That outfit is wearing you, Felix. Why are you calling me Felix? My name is Joe. I'm calling you Felix because I do what I want. Hello, Angelica. Hello, Patricia. Do you know where Daddy is? We never know where our father is and always suspect the other one knows. But it's all phone calls and telegrams, eh, Angelica? Well, you're in a rotten mood. The sunshine gets me down. Where are you going? Dad says not to tell you. Goes with my theory. Power makes you paranoid. Well, get ready to heave, Felix. My name is Joseph or Joe. All right, Joe. Get ready. We're leaving. - Wish me luck. - Good luck. You're shaking. I am? Here you go. That looks delicious. We eat well aboard the Tweedle Dee. - The Tweedle Dee? - That's the name of the boat. So, we're going to the island of Waponi Woo. - I guess so. - Why? - You don't know? - No. - Have you been there? - No. All I know is the name means "Little island with the big volcano"... ...and the people, the Waponis, like orange soda. They like orange soda? "1,800 years ago a Roman galley with a crew of Jews and Druids... "... got caught in a storm off Carthage. "They were swept 1,000 miles off course... "... and ended up on the wrong side of Africa. "Trying to return to Rome, they sailed into the South Pacific... "... and colonized a lightly populated Polynesian island... "... which they named Waponi Woo. "Thus was born the Waponi culture... "... a mix of Polynesian, Celtic, Hebrew, and Latin influences. "The Waponi are known to have a peculiar love of orange soda... "... and no sense of direction. " Why did you talk so snotty back on the dock? Because you work for my father, and I'm angry with my father. Why are you angry with him? Because he's never around. If you're angry, why do you work for him? I don't work for him. My transport of you is strictly a favor. You do favors for people you're mad at? I don't work for him. He's giving me this boat for taking you. He's got two of them. There's a Tweedle Dum, too. That makes everything okay, then. Yes, it does. Is this okay? Sure. The boys sleep in the hull. Dagmar usually sleeps on deck. So you have things to yourself. I'm in the little stateroom. Great. I'm sorry I was rude on the dock. It's okay. Did you sleep with my sister? No. Actually, she's my half sister. No, I didn't. - You like to fish? - Sure. Tomorrow we'll do some fishing. This is the light switch. Did Mike show you how to work the bathroom? Yeah. Do you want me to turn it off while I go? Okay. I love my sister, even though she's screwed up. I love my father, even though I never see him... ...and he's not great when I do see him. I'm nervous about this trip. Neither you nor my father will tell me anything. But it's more than that. I've always kept clear of my father's stuff since I was on my own... ...and he's pulled me back in. He used this boat to get me to work for him... ...which I swore I'd never do. I feel ashamed... ...because I had ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Соседи на английском - текст Гиперболоид инженера Гарина на английском - текст Лунная радуга на английском - текст Сволочи на английском - текст Рэмбо 2 на английском |
